A NEW POTATO.
Anew species of white potato Is be
ing cultivated In France from a pe
culiar variety found In Uruguay. It Is
believed that It Is destined to replace
even the rish potato. Originally a very
bitter tuber, the new vegetable be
comes. after three or four years of
cultivation, an admirable food product.
Its yield Is enormous, and It Is ex
empt from maladies that attack the
ordinary potato. It grows best In
moist soil, Its native habitat being
the marshy shores of the Rilver Mer
cedes, In Uruguay. Its flowers have
a jasmlne-Hke odor, and a delicate
perfume hus nlready been extracted
from them. After one planting the
specie* perpetuate* Itself from the
broken roots left In the ground.
AN IDEA IN XMAS DIET*.
In legsrd to the giving of presents

a silver service for the bureau or a
desk set. One little girl known to the
writer learned to take a special pride
in her own small sanctum and each
year made a list of what she thought
was needed to make it complete, and
by the time she was 16 she possessed
not only a complete set of bftdroom
furniture, but also a desk, bookcase
and table to correspond, and all com
pletely fitted out with silver appoint
ments. One year her mother made a
fancy pin cushion and cover; another
year an aunt sent a pillow for the cosy
easy chair, another aunt sent a down
quilt to match the colors of the room,
until at last the room itself became
the envy of all her girl friends.
THE SENSITIVE SEWING MACHINE.
Not one woman in a thousand, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal, knows
that the most faithful of all house
hold appliances, the sewing machine,
is really a sensitive if inanimate crea
ture. Were this fact better known the
average sewing machine would give
better returns in the family circle. A
man who has handled machines for
years said recently to a woman who
was buying a high-priced machine
■which she had learned to use under
his guidance:
“Now, madam, don’t let any one else
sew on this machine. It is adjusted
to your weight."
“The woman looked at him in
amazement. “Why, I thought any one
could run a machine who understood
its mechanism”
The man shook his head. “Machines
seem almost human to me and no
two women handle a machine just
alike. That machine responds to your
every touch and gives you the very
best results. You weigh about 100
pounds. Your servant weighs 175. Let
her use the machine a few times,
throwing her weight on the treadle and
she’ll throw the whole thing out of
gear just by the difference in her
weight.
“When you tried to use it again you
would find that something was wrong,
and if you were like most women you
would send word to me that I’d cheat
ed you on the machine, as it was out
of order already. If I were the mother
of several daughters I would teach
one of them to handle the machine
properly, and not allow anybody else
to touch it.”

KOHLER—SONTHEIMER, NEW OR
LEANS.
The following account of the Koh
ler-Sontheimer nuptials in New Or
lans, announced in the Morning News
Sunday, is from the New Orleans
Times-Democrat:
“The Sontheimers’ home in Chest
nut street was the scene of a pretty
wedding Wednesday evening, when
Miss Claudia Sontheimer became the
bride of Mr. Max Kohler of Savannah,
Ga. A large number of relatives and
friends assembled to witness the im
pressive ceremony and to participate
in the elaborate reception which fol
lowed. The home was transformed
into a veritable flower display. A
bower of palms was erected, suspend
ed from which was the traditional
lamp, which should be used on ail
solemn and sacred occasions, and
which lent its radiance and added
considerably to the solemnity of the
very eloquent and beautiful words of
Rev. Moise Bergman. At the appoint
ed hour the bridal party entered.
Mrs. Sontheimer and Mr. D. Kohler
led, followed by the maid of honor.
Miss Frances Kohler. She immediate
ly preceded the lovely and youthful
bride, who entered on the arm of her
father, Mr. I. Sontheimer. The best
man, Mr. Aaron Kohler, awaited the
bridal party at the side of the offi
ciating minister. The bride, a pretty,
petite brunette, looked unusually be
witching in a handsome but simple
wedding gown of inasseline, with silk
applique and lace yoke. The long veil
was caught to her head with a coro
net of orange blossoms. A shower bou
quet of bride roses and lilies of the
valley completed a perfect bridal cos
tume. Miss Kohler, sister of the bride
groom. a reigning belle and one of
the most brilliant young women of her
city, wore a most striking brides
maid’s gown In empire design. It was
of ciel-'blue chiffon cloth over pink
taftetta, garnitured in rose point lace.
She carried La France roses and trail
ing ferns. Mrs. Sontheimer, the gra
cious mother of the bride, was hand
somely gowned in black voille and
Duchesse lace. After the ceremony a
large and enjoyable reception was
held. The color scheme, green and
white, was carried out In detail in
the dining room and on the table.
From the chandelier was suspended
garlands of white tulle, which were
caught at either corner by a bunc/,

AT THE THEATER
Through a succession of unfortu
nate circumstances the presentation of
"The Jewel of Asia” last night was
not as agreeable as it might Wave been,
and there were many disappointed
patrons. “The Jewel of Asia” is one
of the most tuneful comic operas, rank
ing with “Dolly Varden,” but those
who heard the piece before were very
much disappointed. Miss Vera Mlche
lena as “the jewel,” did very little to
wards making the presentation suc
cessful. The curtain went up at ten
minutes to 10 o’clock, and all present
were inclined to be a little critical.
The chorus was tired and out of
spirit, and sang with indifferent effect.
There wore few good voices, and it
was left to two rather clever comedians
to save the piece from falling flat.
These deserving special mention were
William Blalsdell as Pierre Lerouge,
and Stuart Hyatt as Sergt. Lafltte.
The fact that the original booking
of the company Included Macon, where
there has been such delay in the com
pletion of the theater, making it neces
sary to make a jump to Savannah from
Columbus, explains why the curtain
was so late in rising. The company
was to reach Savannah at 7:10, but
the train was forty minutes late, and
much of the scenery had not arrived
at the theater at 10 o’clock.
Frank Daniels in his humorous
musical comedy, “The Office Boy,” will
be seen Thursday night under the
direction of Charles B. Dillingham.
The piece was one of the most amus
ing of last season’s theatrical offer
ings. In a series of comical adven
tures it tells the story of an office boy
whose ambitions soar above his low
ly position in life.
The libretto is spoken of as amus
ing, the music is described as pretty,
and in the title role Mr. Daniels has,
it is claimed, one of the best parts
that has come to him in his stage ca
reer. “The Office Boy” was one of
the successes of last winter In New
York, Philadelphia, Boston and Chi
cago. The original production will be
brought here intact, it is promised. Mr.
Daniels’ supporting company. It is
stated, numbers nearly 100 people, and
his cast is a clever and talented one.
Orchestra, $1.50; balcony, $1 and 75
cents; gallery, 50 cents.
On Friday night and Saturday mat
inee the musical comedy, “A Girl from
Dixie,” will be the attraction. The
book is by Harry B. Smith, and a
number of men have furnishe the
music, from Victor Herbert do to
Cole & Johnson, with Ludwig Eng
lander, Henry Waller, A Baldwin
Sloan, Will Marion Cook and other
in between. There are, it is announced,
